Elixr Productions

So, we've been producing events in the Pacific Northwest since the summer of 2010... starting with a series of dances called Lights Out and then most recently with a concert featuring the one and only Soulja Boy (lol), who also had a few hits around 2010. It all comes full circle.

After nearly five years, we're excited to shift the focus a bit in order to reflect on the impact, importance, and influence of hip hop in the Pacific Northwest... examining the changing dynamics of the genre through the lens of a unique culture we grew up in.

This new blog is an experiment – one aimed at shining the light on a growing number of great artists, individuals, and brands that call the Pacific Northwest home.

As always, our vision steadfastly remains to bring people together and put smiles on their faces. And this is exactly what hip hop does. This is what good music does.

And so we begin! Thanks for your support.

A few days ago, J. Cole released a powerful song called 'Be Free' in response to the shooting of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and ensuing turmoil in the suburb that has, amongst many other things, highlighted just how deep structural inequalities run in America.

His words and the link to the song are below.

"Rest in Peace to Michael Brown and to every young black man murdered in America, whether by the hands of white or black. I pray that one day the world will be filled with peace and rid of injustice. Only then will we all Be Free." - Cole
